Don’t Sleep, Robby!

 - by admin

Siblings episode 6: Don’t Sleep, Robby!

Johny, in an effort to defeat boredom, wants to get on the internet. He cannot get online, however, as Rob is currently using their single line dial up connection. Rob needs it in order to keep himself awake for a few more hours, as he’s been awake for quite some time and refuses to sleep until a certain time. Now it is up to Johny to try and get Rob to go to sleep, thereby forfeiting the connection! BUT WILL HE SUCCEED?!

This bad boy is about 9 minutes long, so be prepared for that. I’d like to thank inkiemouse and her family for their guest appearances in this, you rock! And of course, Oney for his awesome narrative work. And if you haven’t seen “Don’t Wake Robby!”, you may want to watch that before watching this. Otherwise, some of the jokes in this won’t make any sense to you.

NOTE: I had to reupload this, so if you favorited or rated it before, you’ll have to do it again. Sorry, the audio was cutting out and messing up jokes in spots, had to do it.

WIDE AWAKE : The Boy Who COULDN’T SLEEP | Toddler Medical Mystery | ABC News

 - by admin

A toddler who can’t sleep undergoes risky, life-changing surgery. |

Not long ago, saying goodnight to his mom and dad was nearly impossible for 3-year-old Rhett Lamb. In a case that baffled doctors, Rhett was awake nearly 24 hours a day.

“His body would give out but his mind wouldn’t; he’d still be awake,” said Rhett’s mom, Shannon Lamb. “He’d still be alert. It was extremely scary.”

One of the side effects of Rhett’s lack of sleep was bad behavior.

“He was in a bad mood all the time,” Lamb said. “He couldn’t play, he didn’t interact with other children. His frustration level was so high, and it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. He couldn’t communicate with anyone. It was heartbreaking.”

Rhett’s temper got so bad he would hit his mother, even giving her black eyes.

“He would hit you, he would bite you, he would head butt you and anything else around him, and you didn’t know from one minute to the next what was going to happen,” she said.

Rhett’s dad David Lamb said, “It was like he was losing his mind and there was nothing we could do to help him.”

The Lambs, who live in St. Petersburg, Fla., arranged opposite work shifts so one of them could stay home and take care of Rhett.

“You get to the point where you can’t function anymore and you can’t think straight, and you get up in the morning and you take a shower to go to work and you drive to work and you’re a robot,” Shannon Lamb said. “You are an absolute robot. And then you dread coming home ’cause you know it’s the same thing.”
